No results found.Supply utilization accounts and food balance sheets are important tools for the analysis and policy monitoring of national agrifood systems. They present a comprehensive picture of the agrifood situation of a country in a specified reference period, showing the pattern of a country’s food supply and utilization. Food balance sheets can be used to examine changes in the level and composition of food supply, the availability of dietary energy and nutrients in different countries, and on the part played by international trade in global agrifood systems. The Statistics Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) compiles supply utilization accounts for 189 countries covering a total of 449 primary and derived commodities. The latest release of food balance sheets provides time-series data from 2010 to 2023. In 2023, the global food supply, measured in terms of average per capita dietary energy supply, crossed the historic milestone of 3 000 kilocalories per capita per day. -

No results found.Acquiring accurate and timely statistical data is crucial for shaping effective strategies in agrifood systems, directly impacting living standards across nations. Food balance sheets are a structured representation of a country’s food availability, presented as an accounting of the supply and use of resources and food during a specified reference period. They are pivotal statistics, which provide comprehensive insights into national food consumption patterns, levels and trends. This handbook provides an essential description of the methodology used by FAO to develop food balance sheets. It aims to familiarize Member Nations, food budgeting institutions, and other interested parties with the core processes involved in data collection and imputation strategies specifically for agricultural and livestock products.
